If you are budget minded you can double the speed of many level 1 EVSE Chargers with a low cost 240V Adapter (EVDOUBLER).

Check this list of 240V compatible vehicles. bit.ly/EVDOUBLER-Compatible-Vehicles

If you vehicle is not compatible you can get a package deal of an upgrade and an EVDOUBLER

Check here for the- bit.ly/EVDOUBLER-Product-Specification. A 240V outlet is optional.

If you are on a tight budget build it yourself- bit.ly/DIY-KIT-EVDOUBLER-1430-50

If you want more info- bit.ly/EVDOUBLER-How-It-Works

We've had discussions here about how many "level 1" bump-in-the-cord EVSEs
are inherently 240V compatible, in fact... you probably know that. Throwing
together an adapter out of Home Depot parts isn't hard, but it's nice that
there's a market into the folks who don't feel comfortable doing that.

Have you considered a product to enable safe testing/verification of
an unknown unit, for people with new ones you haven't seen yet?
What do you do to test them "gently", the series-load lightbulb trick?

I would advise against reliance on URL "shorteners" like bitly. There's no
harm in using real links to your site. In a post, you can use the [url=...] bbcode
construct to embed your link in regular text, like I did above. Some browser
filtering setups don't even permit connections to the shorteners, because
of security risks -- you don't control those resources, anything could happen.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.

Re a Safe Tester of unknown EV Chargers. Unfortunately the lightbulb test is not fool proof. You really have to open the charger and examine the components. eg. The LEAF charger appears to operate at 240V but the main storage capacitor really needs to be 400V (it is only 250V) because the working voltage goes up to 320V when you operate at 240V. We recommend an upgrade for the LEAF charger

Re. Bitly - I will look into using the direct URLs but the Bitly links are handy for a number of reasons. You can always resolve a bitly by adding a + on the end ie. bit.ly/EVDOUBLER-Compatible-Vehicles+. Most of the bitly problems were resolved several years ago.
 
Unfortunately some of the EVSEs seem to be "permanently" glued
together [like my Yura] so an internal look basically destroys the case.
Obviously worthwhile "for science" when needed, though!

We have been successful at opening most cases and then putting them together with some epoxy. See the photos of the voltec's in the repair library

bitly links may be handy for you, but I'd rather see a real link and I am not inclined to click on a bitly link. Keep it straightforward.
 
You're missing the point ... you still have to go through bitly to resolve
that. Still a non-starter, sorry. URL destinations aren't ungainly when
you embed them in sensible text links.

What's your experience with GFI 120V outlets, btw? I'd expect them
to trip immediately on a "combiner", but buyers may not realize what
the problem is, especially if it's a GFI breaker and not at the outlet.
